The truth is, we can seldom admit to finding uniforms sexy without
being branded as the kinkiest sort of pervert. And the bigger truth
is, we all find one uniform or another sexually exciting. I’ll be
honest and admit I don’t find every type of uniform stimulating.
Show me someone in a red and white striped shirt asking me if I’d
"like fries with that," and I can’t say it will ever be a
big turn on. Similarly, the dull green fleeces and shapeless black
pants that comprise the ASDA [UK equivalent of Wal-Mart] uniform have never pressed my buttons.

But, lead me to a naughty nurse, show me a policewoman looking cool
and authoritative or, my personal favourite, present me with a female
soldier in camouflage gear and combat boots, and I turn into a
gibbering blancmange of lust and hormones.

When I’ve confided this to friends, I’ve been told I have some
sick and twisted appetites: although it’s always agreed that my
thing for nurses is a universal deviance. So I usually stay quiet and
seldom mention the pleasure I get from watching those unfortunate
incidents that involve large crowds of police officers or the grim
news footage of military manoeuvres.

Consequently, it has come as something of a relief to find my
kinkiness is supported by the opinions of those authors who have
written for Black Lace’s Wicked Word anthology, Sex in Uniform. This
anthology of cheeky shorts includes eighteen naughty tales of uniform
desires. The stories are as stylish as the usherette in Candy Wong’s
"Second Skin" and hot enough to require the services of the fireman from
Dru Barker’s title: Sophie’s Choice.

For an anthology with the word uniform in the title, the mix of
writing styles is wonderfully diverse.

Alison Tyler, as deliciously kinky as ever, introduces her heroine
to a masterful police officer in "Ransacked." Those familiar with Ms
Tyler’s fiction won’t be disappointed with this story, or her
eloquent execution of a tale that is both amusing and arousing.

Primula Bond produces a collection of deviant outfits for her story
"Confessions." From the sixth form uniform of the heroine, through to
the habit of a novice nun and the cassock and vestments of a convent
chaplain, Primula describes and narrates a wickedly entertaining tale.

In "Ramraiders," by Nuala Deuel, a security guard working the night
shift receives a pleasant distraction to her evening in an empty
warehouse. The strength of the characters involved is only surpassed
by the marvellous development of the tale and the perfect climax that
follows a gloriously torrid encounter.

Forest rangers, postal workers, air stewardesses and chauffeuses
are all beautifully represented, as are the cleaning lady, doctors and
railway guards.

But perhaps the most deviant icon in the collection comes in
Elizabeth Coldwell’s witty and exciting tale "Park and Ride" where her
heroine develops a fixation with Traffic Wardens.

Surprisingly, Elizabeth Coldwell shows her traffic wardens to be
human beneath the uniform. Admittedly, she does take a glorious
pleasure from equating her heroine’s infatuation to something
intolerably vulgar and low. But the fun of the story makes up for the
fact that she has humanised the most inhuman of all uniformed workers.

Sex in Uniform is the latest in a series of anthologies from Black
Lace and it really does showcase some talented authors exercising the
most wonderful imaginations. For those who enjoy their erotic fiction
dressed at its most resplendent, Sex in Uniform is a must-read title.
